sLEEPLEssEEss.

Not long since the Rev. DR.. Ormis-
ton, Of New York city, published in
The Homileticdl Reuietv an account of q
life long struggle on his part against
sleeplessness. He was evidently born
with a peculiar cerebral organization
that craved but little sleep. This was
greatly aggravated, however, by the most
fragrant abuse of himself in the way Of
overwork. According to his statement,
during his life he had tried every mag
Unable form of narcotic and hygienic de-
vice for his relief, but without finding
any that were desirable for more than
transient use. He sums up the whole
of his experience in the following brief
recommendations in efforts to over
come wakefulness: "Early retiring and
rising; the performance of all har
mental work in the early part Of the
day; the avoidance of all excitement
late in the evening, and the practice of
taking exercise of some kind in the open
air, in all weathers, unless very stormy,
and whenever practicable, this exercise
to consist of ride on horseback of not
less than two hours every morning"
Another phase of the cir cumstances
that favor sleep is dwelt upon forcibly
by DIR. Mortimer Granville, namely,
the power of habit. He says: "The
periodic recurrence of sleep is normally
matter of habit; and, therefore, the
act of going to Sleep ought also to be
a habit. The cultivation of habit of
going to sleep in particular way, at a
particular time, will do more oprocuIe
regular and healthy sleep than any other
artihce. 1t is not very important wi at
a person does with the intention of 60
ing to sleep, but he should do precisely
the same thing, in the sane way, at
the same time, and under as nearly as
possible the same conditions, night
after night, for considerable period,
say, three or four weeks at least. The
result will amply reward the effort"

KING HUMBERT's TRIUMPH.

In making friend we lose an enemy.
Sometimes we make the grievous mis-
take of thinking we are showing our
selves as possessing will power and
pride and proper self-respect by refus-
ing to make advances when a slight
difference has separated us from our
friends. King Humbert of Italy has
just shown himself a king indeed.
Looking from his palace windows, not
long since, he discovered that the pal
ace of prince who had refused to meet
him-had refused to be one of COM
mittee to give him a message of good
will that very day-was burning. The
king fastened to the burning building,
and, with his gentlemen-in-w waiting,
did all in his power to help the family
and save their possessions. When the
prince and bis family were in place of
safety, the prince acknowledged his in
debtedness to the king, and his gener-
osity in helping him in time Of danger.
The king made powerful friend of
an aggressive enemy by proving himself
true man.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE UNITED
STATES.
BY PROF. DAVID SWING.

The Westminster Reuieao, in its recent
issue, contains an exceedingly valuable
article upon State Education in Amer
lea. The value lies not only in the col
leeted facts of the essay, but also in the
inspiration which the American reader
draws from such a favorable foreign
estimate Of the educational system of
his own country.
Matthew Arnold's report upon the
educational methods of several Euro
pean nations created a general interest
and studyin England in this direction,
and some capable writer, availing him.
self of this general inquiry, published
in the Westminster ReUieoD of January a
long and compact report on education
over the sea.
In noting that American education is
not national, but is wholly under State
control, that English thinker might
have pointed out the many details in
which State like Ireland could pursue
its local duty and yet be loyal subject
of the crown. In the large matter of
the education of youth there are thirty
eight different kingdoms in our nation,
and yet there is no discord created be-
tween these dynasties or between them
and the central powers at Washington.
What differences there are are trivial,
while there are perhaps great gains
coming from the rivalry of Michigan
and an Iowa, or Massachusetts with
Ohio.
In this country these public schools
are free, differing in this respect from
most Of the European instruction, to
secure which some stipend is required
from the parents. The enormous cost
in the United States is met by uni
versal taxation-a method which COM
pels the richest to help most in educat-
ing the children of the poorest. In
some States the tax is only fifty cents
to the hundred dollars, but along comes
each year a revenue equal to the de-
mands made by housing and teaching
for part of the year IL 900 600 persons
between the ages of eight and twenty.
1t is not claimed that in the rural re-
gions this education is of a frst-class
kind in quality or quantity. There,
often, a half-taught teacher must listen
to twenty or thirty classes a day and
